I wonder how seriously we are fallen into the tracks of consumerism? I mean do not get me wrong; I love make up. And I have to admit that watching other's hauls on YouTube helped me during my IVF struggles. I mean it!
It was my escape from the indefinite torture of not knowing whether my baby was going to survive or not. I have watched maybe a thousand videos and we still have couple more weeks left. Even writing this makes me nervous so I know that I will be falling asleep while watching someone's ULTA haul.
But seriously, it used to be about creating looks, unbiased reviews, cherished once in a while birthday hauls. There are still so many great You Tubers but once in a while you get products pushed to your throat. It annoys me.
Also, all these people receiving these products weeks ahead to create the buzz, actually killing the surprise factor for me. Once I see the application on the eyelid, the magic is gone. How would you feel if someone told you the ending of Harry Potter while you were reading Half Blood Prince? Ok, I admit it: I am a bit jealous! But if I do not wait for it, save for it, and pay for it, it does not make me happy in the long run. Hobby becomes an obligation.
Again do not get me wrong! I have a shopping list which can not be completed by five makeup shopaholics. My list usually starts with all the 1,625,222 eye shadows from ....
But, why? It is ok to add a different color to your collection but buying things just to have them is a bit donkey.
Recently I have been watching anti haul videos. I can not tell you how refreshing they are rather than running after some sold out palette which already was old news the day it was released.
Shopping your stash, smudging out your liner, enhancing your beauty are in, strobing, heavy concealing, and hyped up shit are out for me. I can not possibly imagine my self in a sexy lingerie just yet but it may be the right direction for you: beauty inside and out, right?
Whatever makes you happy but do not get addicted to things except for Ben Nye Matte eyeshadows. Opppsss
I also have a video in which my eye look supposed to look plum but due to lighting it looks brown. Until next time....
